Apocalypse: Last Traveler

"Go, take this man's head inside and deliver a message for me - tell them to release Chai Xin. I'll let go of the fact that you tried to puncture my tires by laying stones on the eastern road."

Lu Xi'an spoke to the person who had just been untied.

That person turned pale instantly upon hearing Lu Xi'an's words, pointing at another person on the car roof and saying, "Brother, let him go in instead. He's more agreeable than I am!"

The reason for this was obvious.

Lu Xi'an was certain he had betrayed the people here and sided with the Neo-Humans, and that's why he didn't dare go in and wanted to hand over the task to someone else.

But both of them were traitors, does it matter who goes in?

He didn't respond.

"You!"

The person on the car roof turned pale immediately and was about to speak, but was silenced by a foot pressing down on his back. He shivered inside and shut his mouth obediently.

Yao Wei had her foot on the back of the person on the car roof, and her bow and arrow were aimed downwards at the person below who had been untied by Lu Xi'an.

This woman was looking down from above, her expression cold, giving off a vibe of decisiveness and a readiness to kill at the slightest offense.

Not to mention the person who had been untied, even Lu Xi'an, while looking up, was somewhat subdued by Yao Wei's aura, reluctant to move in the face of an arrow.

The untied person hesitated for a while, clutching the dead man's head, but still didn't dare turn around and walk away.

Lu Xi'an said, "What are you afraid of? Didn't the Neo-Humans make you go solo here before?"

"Yes, they did."

The man replied sullenly.

Lu Xi'an said, "You were brave enough to run errands for them, but not for us, do you think we're less than them?"

"No! No!"

The man quickly said.

With Lu Xi'an's words, he seemed to finally come around, took a deep breath, and carrying the dead man's head, trudged into the target bungalow.

Once he entered, the person on the car roof finally exhaled in relief.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei waited patiently outside.

The room was filled with ordinary people, they could be guarded against them, holding their breath was fine, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei couldn't immediately detect them.

But now with the man carrying the Neo-Human's head inside, things changed.

Conflicts erupted immediately inside, and they started arguing.

They argued in hushed tones, afraid that the people outside would hear: "Ha! Neo-Human's underling is here! So, the Neo-Human ran away, now you've come to soften up?"

But the man who went in after being untied by Lu Xi'an didn't cooperate, yelling at the top of his lungs: "What Neo-Human's underling? You don't know shit!

"Are you blind? Look at what I'm holding! This guy is already dead. I was just being two-faced, all for you guys, don't you get it?!

"If I didn't humor him, would you guys have been okay?

"I foresaw this day for him, knowing your nature, I had no choice but to settle him myself!

"You're really ungrateful, still dare to resent me!"

Inside, someone sneered, "You've always talked sweetly, but now you've betrayed us, why should we trust you? What are you doing with that head?"

The man said, "Just wanted to talk about this. This head is here to show you that the Neo-Human who troubled us has been killed by the two outside.

"They said, as long as we release Chai Xin, everything is negotiable!

"They aren't like this guy, they're really nice people, easy to talk to!

"If you don't know what's good for you, they're much tougher than this guy. You could die without knowing how!"

Lu Xi'an listening outside, inwardly praised, this person's flattery skills were indeed impressive, always ready to praise, and he could flatter anything without requiring a person.

He and Yao Wei waited for a while longer, hearing that the people inside seemed to finally compromise, followed by some shuffling sounds, similar to when Lu Xi'an untied the person earlier.

Then, Chai Xin came out along with the guy carrying the Neo-Human's head.

She looked like she hadn't eaten for two days, and had been tied up all the while, looking quite haggard.

But even so, others seemed wary of her, even the guy carrying the Neo-Human's head kept his distance.

It wasn't until she reached the front of the car, that someone inside the bungalow poked their head out cautiously.

Chai Xin, feeling something, suddenly turned her head back, causing the person at the door to quickly retract their head.

Chai Xin turned her head back around and sincerely said to Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, "Thank you."

Lu Xi'an didn't waste words, as if possessed by Yao Wei, he just said one word, "Go."

Chai Xin wanted to climb onto the car roof.

But Yao Wei on the car roof had no intention of coming down, saying, "I'll stay on the car roof."

Chai Xin had to obediently sit in the passenger seat.

Lu Xi'an got back in the car, about to reverse and steer away, when the guy carrying the Neo-Human's head hurried over, saying anxiously, "Brother, take me with you, tie me up like before and throw me on the roof, that works too!"

He wasn't trying to stick with Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, just afraid of being left behind and getting beaten or killed by the people inside once Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei left.

Lu Xi'an said, "You guys tried to puncture my tires with stones, I've already been lenient by not killing you. Why should I take you along?

"You can follow for a while, but if you can't keep up, don't blame me."

The man said urgently, "They are the ones who threw stones on the road, not me!"

Lu Xi'an said, "Who knows?" Finished, and drove away.

The man had no choice but to chase after on foot, envy on his face as he looked at the person on the car roof being stepped on by Yao Wei.

Luckily, the car wasn't moving fast...

Yao Wei turned her gaze backward, holding her bow and arrow, but her eyes weren't on the person chasing the car, they were fixed on the bungalow.

Inside the car, Chai Xin was also watching through the rearview mirror, and Lu Xi'an glanced, knowing Chai Xin was looking at the place she had been held previously.

The girl's eyes were cold, with an expression that suggested she wanted to kill someone, prompting Lu Xi'an to say, "What's up, want me to drop you so you can go back and fight?"

Chai Xin shook her head and said, "I won't trouble you.

"Sorry, if I had known you guys would come back, I would've stayed put. Instead, now I've caused you all these troubles."

Lu Xi'an asked, "Why did you come here all of a sudden? We thought you'd head to Tongzhou County."

Chai Xin said, "I'd rather die than return to Tongzhou County. Even without Fa, the people there annoy me.

"I could've left with you guys, to wherever you said was a good place to live, but then those people from Mengxin City threw stones on the road, causing a misunderstanding.

"I thought if they wouldn't let me live well, I wouldn't let them live well either, so I came here alone wanting to fight them.

"I killed a few of them, but they were rather fixated on that stone, trying to learn of its whereabouts from me so they could kill me once they found it, and ended up keeping me tied without killing me.

"—I intended to give you that stone, did you get it?"
